CONFLICTOLOGICAL CULTURE OF PERSONALITY IN A PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENT (BY THE EXAMPLE OF PEDAGOGUES AND ENGINEERS)

The levels of conflictological culture of pedagogues and engineers, the peculiarities of its formation as well as the comparison of the conflictological culture’s levels among representatives of these specialties on the base of their gender and work experience are analyzed in the proposed research. Each specialist owns a certain level of the conflictological culture’s development and he/she expresses it in a professional environment. The relevance of the research’s theme is caused by the necessity to improve conflictological culture of specialists for their further successful activities. The Aim of the research is the identification of differences in the levels’ formation of specialists’ conflictological culture by the example of pedagogues and engineers and the influence of such a characteristic as a gender and work experience  on it. The Object of the research is the process of forming conflictological culture of pedagogues and engineers. The Methods of the research are the following:1. the theoretical analysis of scientific literature on the given problem;2.the empirical analysis of obtained data reflected the level’s formation of pedagogues and engineers.

COMMUNICATIONAL ASPECT OF PERSONAL CONFLICTOLOGICAL CULTURE OF ACADEMIC STAFF: A SAMPLING STUDY

A psychological diagnostics of conflictological culture of the academic staff appears to be a valuable tool for reflecting the mass social processes. An accidental sample of observation units and quantification of personal conflictological culture levels allowed exposing and analyzing its trends; however, the socio-biological as well as professional and cultural markers (i.e. gender, age, position and teaching experience) allowed scaling the changes in PCC structural components of the surveyed. In highly conflictogenic circumstances, socio-psychological factors override socio-cultural ones

The total benefit of liquid mixing approach for fabrication of organic MgB2 superconductor with excellent electromagnetic performance has been demonstrate

Individual educational trajectory: Grounds for electives choice

The fact that individual educational trajectory (IET) is one of the key factors of modern Russian education development determines relevancy of studying issues of IET implementation into higher educational institutions teaching process. This research aims at rates students’ awareness of IET advantages and finding out factors influencing students’ choices. A survey covered first-year students of the Saratov State Law Academy (N = 1325, aged 16–18, male – 38,2%, female – 61,8%), pursuing Bachelor and Specialist Degrees. Authorial questionnaire is aimed at rating students’ awareness of IET advantages and finding out factors influencing students’ choices. The survey results analysis showed that a students’ IET awareness level is rather high but there is a need in additional measures for clarifying IET advantages and opportunities. Firstly, it is essential to broaden a list of IET information resources: a higher educational institution official website, deans’ offices, curators, tutors, teachers, written sources. Secondly, it is necessary to structure an electives choice procedure. Thirdly, there is a need in working out a plan of events to be held during the first term of the first year of study to shape first-year students’ skills of an informed choice. Constant monitoring of studying within IET (students’ and teachers’ surveys, observations, interviews) will provide material for further research in several directions: 1) an analysis of cumulated material for providing teaching results of high quality; 2) a deeper research of factors influencing elective choices; 3) studying of digital technologies opportunities for shaping IET

Aspects of the "Carnivalization" of contemporary cultural practices

The relevance of the article is due to the need to reflect on a new cultural phenomenon that presents the cultural practices of modern chronotopos. The philosophical and cultural concepts of the state of culture are analyzed and the tendencies reflecting instability (transitivity), uncertainty, ambivalence of cultural practices and carnivalization of all spheres of life are revealed. The philosophical reflection of the essence, character, signs of carnivalization made it possible to explicate the phenomenon of "carnival" through its ideological and behavioral components. In the context of the dialogue of medieval and contemporary culture, the essence of carnivalization as a phenomenon of culture is revealed. This context is considered as a special means of restoring the integrity of worldview, world outlook, world attitude. The problem of cultural practices orientation to their value-semantic (axiological) uplift is also actualized. The nature and essence of such categories as "carnival laughter", "carnival freedom", "carnival behavior", "ambivalence" are investigated, characteristic features of carnivalisation are identified and it can be considered as a way of modeling and constructing contemporary cultural reality. The fact that the modern cultural space creates conditions not only for the functioning of carnivalization within the primary function - renewal, creation of a new life-world, but also a new world-view and meaning-making. The constructive role of cultural dialogue in the process of praxeological growth of the subjects of carnivalization has been determined. It is shown that the concept of carnivalization of Mikhail Bakhtin remains relevant at the present stage of cultural development. The discovery of carnivalization as a certain signal of the crisis of culture and the way out of it gives reason to consider carnivalization as a factor of self-organization of culture, as a complex organized system

Outlier detection and classification in sensor data streams for proactive decision support systems

A paper has a deal with the problem of quality assessment in sensor data streams accumulated by proactive decision support systems. The new problem is stated where outliers need to be detected and to be classified according to their nature of origin. There are two types of outliers defined; the first type is about misoperations of a system and the second type is caused by changes in the observed system behavior due to inner and external influences. The proposed method is based on the data-driven forecast approach to predict the values in the incoming data stream at the expected time. This method includes the forecasting model and the clustering model. The forecasting model predicts a value in the incoming data stream at the expected time to find the deviation between a real observed value and a predicted one. The clustering method is used for taxonomic classification of outliers. Constructive neural networks models (CoNNS) and evolving connectionists systems (ECS) are used for prediction of sensors data. There are two real world tasks are used as case studies. The maximal values of accuracy are 0.992 and 0.974, and F1 scores are 0.967 and 0.938, respectively, for the first and the second tasks. The conclusion contains findings how to apply the proposed method in proactive decision support systems

Interaction of Biliverdin Chromophore with Near-Infrared Fluorescent Protein BphP1-FP Engineered from Bacterial Phytochrome

Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent proteins (FPs) designed from PAS (Per-ARNT-Sim repeats) and GAF (cGMP phosphodiesterase/adenylate cyclase/FhlA transcriptional activator) domains of bacterial phytochromes covalently bind biliverdin (BV) chromophore via one or two Cys residues. We studied BV interaction with a series of NIR FP variants derived from the recently reported BphP1-FP protein. The latter was engineered from a bacterial phytochrome RpBphP1, and has two reactive Cys residues (Cys15 in the PAS domain and Cys256 in the GAF domain), whereas its mutants contain single Cys residues either in the PAS domain or in the GAF domain, or no Cys residues. We characterized BphP1-FP and its mutants biochemically and spectroscopically in the absence and in the presence of denaturant. We found that all BphP1-FP variants are monomers. We revealed that spectral properties of the BphP1-FP variants containing either Cys15 or Cys256, or both, are determined by the covalently bound BV chromophore only. Consequently, this suggests an involvement of the inter-monomeric allosteric effects in the BV interaction with monomers in dimeric NIR FPs, such as iRFPs. Likely, insertion of the Cys15 residue, in addition to the Cys256 residue, in dimeric NIR FPs influences BV binding by promoting the BV chromophore covalent cross-linking to both PAS and GAF domains.Peer reviewe
